New Kangoo Express's design is modern and expressive and notably features a short, robust front that provides a spacious cabin and a large, practical cargo area. Meanwhile, the forward-positioned, panoramic, MPV-style windscreen ensures a brightly-lit cabin.

 

Inside, Renault has placed the accent on space, comfort and practicality thanks an array of features and functions that are unprecedented in this segment. The high seating position ensures a broad view of the road and combines with the dashboard-mounted gearshift lever to deliver a standard of driving comfort on a par with that of a passenger car.

 

New Kangoo Express' length of 4.21m frees up an optimized cargo carrying capacity of between 3 and 3.60 cubic metres, while its interior width (1.21m between wheel arches) now makes it possible to take a standard Euro pallet.

 

This versatility extends to the possibility of folding the passenger seat (optional) to extend carrying capacity to 3.50 cubic metres. Moreover, the design of New Kangoo Express enables a long list of specific conversions (emergency vehicles, delivery vehicles, controlled-temperature transport, pick-ups, etc) to be carried out thanks to the numerous specialist partnerships that have been put into place.

The range includes three diesel powerplants based on the 1.5 dCi block and available in three power outputs (70hp, 85hp and 105hp), plus two petrol engines (1.6 8V 90hp and 1.6 16V 105hp). Powered by the 85hp version of the diesel engine, New Kangoo Express returns combined cycle fuel consumption of 5.2 litres/100km, equivalent to CO2 emissions of just 137g/km.

 

Indeed, the first two versions of the 1.5 dCi both emit less than 140g of CO2/km, making them eligible for the  Renault eco² appellation, while the most powerful version can be equipped with a particulate filter.
